From the bulk of Dr. Balint's writings, Khan focuses on those relating to the analytic setting and process. Each patient has within himself a 'basic fault', the result of a betrayal of his trust during childhood. This is experienced in the transference, in the later stages, as a wish for certain simple gratifications from the analyst, never going beyond mild forepleasure, i.e., hand holding. This is the 'new beginning', the capacity for unsuspicious, trusting object relation. It entails the relinquishing of the paranoid attitude and the acceptance, without excess anxiety, of some depression. It is a repetition of the stage of 'primary love' which Balint postulates in place of primary narcissism. (The infant is born in a state of intense relatedness to the environment.) Balint's 'ocnophilic' and 'philobatic' concepts are discussed, as are his three areas of the mind: Oedipus complex; basic fault; and creation.
